I understand this might seem a bit silly, but I'm willing to try and figure it out.

Have you explored alternative launch interfaces such as Classic Shell? http://www.classicshell.net/ It replicates the Windows 7 start menu, which may resemble what you're seeking. Alternatively, consider StartN11 at https://www.stardock.com/products/start11/
I'll check the PC issue after clicking those links. Bitdefender said it handled 1000 tons of weight. I'll see what happens when it arrives.
If it were the Classic Shell link, consider using https://www.classicshell.net. Avoid the less secure HTTP version and don't rely on Bitdefender.
